The wait is over for those of us who shoot on P2 cards. Panasonic has released a USB bus-powered card reader. (Why did it take them so long?!) Compact and easy to use, just connect the two USB cables (one for data, one for power) and insert your P2 card and voila! Your P2 card shows up as an external hard drive. You can drag and drop your files and save your precious footage right there on the spot. Perfect!
